[ Chuck looks rumpled, a little dirty from working in the yard - look at him, all domesticated and shit. He's leaning on a shovel and holding his little device up, wipes his brow and flashes a dimpled smile. ]

So, somehow we haven't kicked the bucket this October, right? Everyone still good?


[ he'd finger guns if he wasn't holding the contraption and his shovel. ]

Brilliant. Anyway - Chuck here, I'm way the hell out in Feed, and Ray and I have got a metric fuckton of mushrooms growing around our property. I don't know jack shit about identifying them or knowing what's safe to eat -- any of you lot got any knowledge in that area?

Got a pile of mushrooms and a basket of eggs for ya, if so.

If you eat it and it kills you or makes you shit blood, it's probably poisonous.

(..........Eddie, have you ever considered Not Being an Asshole.)

Well, I don't know anything about mushrooms, except that Mako's great at cooking with them! If they, um, aren't poisonous. Can mushrooms be poisonous?

[ Look, he doesn't know either ]

Look at you! Living that farm dream. I'm glad that we don't have to contend with all the awfulness of Deerington Octobers. I bet that really ruined your, ah, crops? They're called crops. Right?

Oh, and we'd definitely take some eggs!

A limited understanding. I do know the ones that are popular for food here, so I could bring pictures along to help with identifying. I'm still familiarizing myself with the varieties in this world.

[lefthemisphere]

Brilliantly helpful, thanks mate.

[lefthemisphere]

Yeah, they can. Kill ya dead as a doornail, some of 'em. Just not sure which is which, here.

[ He does look happy, though - pink from working hard, slimmer, still strong. ]

Yeah, crops. I'll swing by with a basket for you - our chickens are laying plenty.

[lefthemisphere]

That would be helpful, yeah. I'm not an expert by any means and I'd like to not accidentally kill my partner, y'know?

He'd probably be pretty pissed when he came back.

Oi, dickhead.

Bring yer dog over.

(Eddie sighs dramatically.)

Okay, okay. Stay away from any mushrooms with spots. That either means they're poisonous or have gone rancid. And ones that have like. Skirts. I don't know what they're called, but when you dig up a mushroom, if it has a weird thing around its stem. It looks like a skirt to me. Let me see...

(And here we go. A picture.)

Basically, your mushroom should look like a dick with no deformities.

(Eloquent, Eddie. He's not technically wrong though........)

[falsify]

I don't know if that's such a good idea if you've got unidentified mushrooms growing around the place.

[lefthemisphere]

Max won't eat 'em. Besides, We've got a fenced area we keep clear.

[falsify]

Boxer could do with the trip, I guess.

[also he actually likes chuck and would like to see his friend??? gross.]

[lefthemisphere]

Yeaaah, there ya go, c'mon, then.

Where're you living, anyway?

Re: video

[lefthemisphere]

[ see, that IS helpful. good kid, eddie ]

Dick with no deformities. Got it.

Thanks - that is helpful. [ legitimately ]

[falsify]

House turned up in Crenshaw.

[And, with a bit of a laugh in his voice because they both know a fucking farmhouse doesn't fit in this place.]

It looks... Comically out of place.

[unsheathedfromreality]

I do not know how to tell you which mushrooms might poison you, but I have always been wanting to eat one, to see what they are about. [He sounds weirdly delighted by this prospect.]

You will trade for some? I do not need to worry anymore about poison, so I do not care which I get.

[bookerlesigh]

Don't got much knowledge.

I can experiment with some trial and error, let you know the outcome.

[ it's not like he has anything better to do with his time. dying had been inconvenient and unpleasant at one point, so he's fairly certain he'll be able to remember the worst offenders. ]

[onerthes]

Hah, yes. Let's avoid accidental deaths by food poisoning. We've already got enough trouble as is. And it will help me. The locals keep crowing about the use of mushrooms, so I've been trying to take up some home growing. Best to know what to use.

[royalfling]

That doesn't sound very safe! Chuck, don't eat those!

[ Even though they come back, it's not worth it for mushrooms! ]

Thank you, thank you, that would be great. I mean, I won't cook them, but Mako will! He'll put them to good use.

un: trienemybest; video

[droptheious]

I can come and take a look at them if you want. I have a pretty good idea about them. Though honestly, Melius is way better with mushrooms than I am.

[Mostly because he can eat them and NOT DIE. ]

You guys are pretty far out of the town. How is it out there?

[lefthemisphere]

Yeah, wasn't plannin' on it.

[ He grins, wiping his brow as he squints into the device. ]

You want me to just bring 'em by a little later? Or I can send Ray, he's got nothing to do, God knows it's me breakin' my back out in this yard.

[ He's joking, because Raleigh helps, obviously, but it's fun to pick at him. ]

[lefthemisphere]

Wouldn't that be fuckin' ironic? All that shit in Deerington, only to go out bu a fuckin' mushroom? Christ.

But yeah -- feel free to come out and have a look around, see what we can figure out.

[lefthemisphere]

...Your bigass farmhouse ended up in the burbs?

[ cackle ]

[lefthemisphere]

You wanna...eat one for funsies?

I mean, sure, if you wanna give it a go, I'm happy to give you a bag.

[lefthemisphere]

[ the amount of people here volunteering to eat potentially deadly mushrooms is concerning ]

Uh, well. Yeah, if you're sure it's not gonna kill you? I don't wanna have to deal with a body on my property this soon.
